LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund

A week after fires across Los Angeles County caused unprecedented community destruction, a coalition of major local arts institutions along with national and international supporters launched the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund. The Fund is designed specifically to assist artists and art workers of all disciplines whose residences and/or studios have been affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires and provide support as rapidly as possible. Launched with $12 million, the Fund provided one-time support of up to $10,000 to reach the hundreds of individuals in Los Angeles’ creative economy whose lives have been upended. Getty and CCI also continued to welcome donations.

In the end, over 1,700 artists and arts workers received $14.3 million in support. The vast majority of those awarded support are being funded at their requested amounts, including all of those who lost a home, with or without insurance, and all artists who lost an uninsured studio or workspace. Among the recipients, 85% applied as artists and 15% as arts workers, with 78% of the group impacted by the Eaton fire and 22% by the Palisades fire.
